I'm 5 feet and around 105/107. I used to be 10 pounds lighter but that was thanks to obsessive exercise, walking miles a day living in a major city, and punishing diet routines (not ones I would recommend ever).

I probably eat 1,600-2,000 depending on the day but am still quite active. If I want to lose weight I drink less (very much enjoy wine) and eat less peanut butter. But, I am learning to accept where I am because I'm healthier overall.

I think the poster above suffering from osteoporosis is pretty common for what happens when you are 95 lbs for a lifetime.

Same stats and 40 soon to be 41. I don't watch what I eat and snack a lot. Used to be very fat up until 2 yrs ago. If I want to lose more weight I don't snack.

I'm 5 feet and weigh 120. I'm very muscular and toned so I look thinner notwithstanding the weight on the scale. I workout a lot and eat around 1500-2000 a day. I have weighed less before but I'm comfortable where I am and with my calorie intake. I've calorie counted and been so weight conscious for much of my adult life so I know exactly how much work is required (both exercise and controlling my food) to weigh less and at this point in my life, it's just not worth it. At my age, I think I look great and my hubby and children think so too.

It's extremely hard. Being a short woman is the worst.

I eat closer to 1200 a day, and even that is difficult. I do IF and eat two meals a day, mainly veggies.

But I've decided that losing the "last" ten pounds really isn't worth it. Really. If your BMI is in a healthy, think about if you really need to be a certain weight.

I probably do this. Tho I don’t know how to count calories. I am 5 feet ( lost about 3/4 inch due to aging and osteoporosis— I am about to turn 64). I have weighed between 92-96 for at least the last 40 years. Except for two pregnancies where I went up to 135. I have many days where I eat one meal a day. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables ( more than the recommended 5 servings). But I also eat red meat and plenty of carbs like fresh bread. I avoid things like cream sauces. But I have had long stretches where I eat a pint of ice cream every night. Obviously I have a good metabolism. I do “ watch” everything I eat. I usually have much smaller portions than the average person. When I eat in restaurants ( rarely since start of pandemic) I usually take half my entree home for the next day! What else can I tell you? Soups and salads are really filling for the calories

I am just under 5 feet and currently weight 113 lbs. I am obviously trying to lose weight but online calculators say I am supposed to eat 1k cals per day. How is this feasible?
